Do you know the formula?

rowanwhitethorn · Answer

yes

kgrendel0324 · Answer

Okay. So you have the base measurement and the height. 
Just plug it in.

rowanwhitethorn · Answer

I keep getting the wrong answer :/

kgrendel0324 · Answer

alright look.
volume= 1/3 (Bh)
B= area of base
h= height of cone

rowanwhitethorn · Answer

i got 210, which i know isn't correct.

kgrendel0324 · Answer

hmm. thats what i got too. Why do you know it isnt correct?

rowanwhitethorn · Answer

Because the answer choices are 
A. 10,390.8 in^3
B. 5,195.4 in^3
C. 3, 463. 6 in^3
D. 329.9 in^3

well. this is interesting. wait a minute.

im just as stuck as u are...

campbell_st · Answer

the volume is the same as a normal cone

you just need the perpendicular height that is given in the question

campbell_st · Answer

well remember the formula is 

$$V = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi r^2 \times h$$

so to get 210 I'd guess all you have done is 

$$V = \frac{1}{3} \times 30 \times 21$$

campbell_st · Answer

the value of 21 is the diameter of the base of the cone and not the area of the base... 

so havve the diameter to get a radius
